STiN, LONTDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1836. .•• RESULTS-OF THE SESSION. (From the Spectator.) The results of the Session are row before us. The time for considering calmly what has been gained or lost by the Legis lative proceedings of the last seven months has arrived. We lave exakiined the votes of both Houses—those dry but truth telling records things done—with the view of getting at the actual result of all the strife and talking with which the country has been so long dinned. It is unsatisfactory beyond the belief cf any person whose attention has rot been regularly given to the progress of Parliamentary business. To put our readers in possession. of the facts, we have drawn up a state ment, which will show the fate of the more important measures and motions introduced into either House during the pastsession. First come the 1311!3 having reference more especially to the affairs of England and Wales. ENGLISH BILLS.

Parnell—Received by the Lords June 20—Rejected by the Lords July 19. It will be 'observed, that though many of the Bills have been formal/II rejected by the House of Commons, the Lords have been the real Destructives ; and if we add the measures which they mutilated with intent to destroy those which found their last home in the House of Incurables, the account against the latter will appear much more formidable. In point of fact, though not of form, the Peers are chargeable with the loss of all the undermentioned Bills :- The Stafford Borough, Municipal Corporation Amend- merit, Voters' Registration, Civil Offices Declaration Poole Corporation, Charitable .Trustees, Jewish Disabilities, Irish Church, Roman Catholic Marriages, Edinburgh Poor-Rate, Scotch Court of Session, London and Brighton Rail- way, Manchester and Cheshire Imprisonment for Debt, Pos . :7- Office Commissioners, Trio MuncipalCorporations, Railway, Trinity Harbour, Dundee Water-works. Neither is the whole mischief done by the Peers comprised in the account' of rejected measures. They have damaged Many, which the Commons have reluctantly accepted ; and among- them the following :.___ The Prisoners' Counsel, Established Church, Registration of Births, County Elections Poll. Marriages Celebration, The legislative annals of the country furnish no parallel to this slaughter and mutilation of Bills sanctioned by the House of COMMOTIS. The cause lies on the surface. Formerly the Peers had little to do except to pass their own Bills, the as sembly styled the Representatives of the people being merely the Lords' instruments. But now that, for the first time, an elTrwt is made to carry a series of measures really and truly for the people, the anti-national spirit and policy of the Peers is transoarent. It is no longer denied by the Peers that they regaM the House of Commons, and everything emanating from it, with jealousy and distrust ; and the determination to maintain the oligarchical principle of vesting superior power in th e m i nor i t y is most offensively avowed by their chosen leader. The loss of almost every one of the Bills in the long catalogue above printed may be traced to the work ing of this policy. The Municipal Act Amendment Bill gave the representatives of the majority in towns a control over public property ; the Poole Corporation Bill punished frauds in elections. by which the minority were enabled to elect a majority of councillors ; the Imprisonment for Debt Bill made landed propertv—the mainstay of an aristocracy— liable to the payment of just debts ; the measures for reform ing the Irish Church and Corporations recognized -the claim of the Irish millions to a share in funds now engrossed by the Orange fraction of the nation ; and as to the Trinity Harbour, Dundee Water-works, and Brighton Railway Bills (on the in trinsic merits of which we offer no opinion here, for the deci sion did not turn upon merits or demerits), they interfered vtith the interests, alliances, and spites of certain Lords. Act ing on the principle we have .attributed to the Peers on the authority of their own repeated admissions, they could not consistently do otherwise than reject all the measures they have thrown out. Besides, their policy, as a party anxious for place, has been to thwart and trample upon the House of Com mons—to demonstrate the inefficacy of the Whi„,o--Radical union to procure practical benefits for the country. They have succeeded—for the session ; whether for their own ultimate good or evil remains for the future to tell. All depends on the use which may be made of the lesson which the session has read both to Ministers and people. A LAR MING FIR' .-A few minutes after 8 o'clock Yesterday morning the neighbourhood of Brooke's Market and Leather-lane, Holborn, presented a scene of the utmost con fusion in consequence of a fire breaking out in the house of Mr. Davis, a milkman, No 3, Dorrington-street, Brooke's M ar k e t. I n f o rmation of the circumstance soon reached the engine stations of the London Fire Establishment in Farring_ don -street and French Horn-yard, and after the lapse of a few minutes, several of the fire brigade unde r the direction of Mr. thoir foreman, arrived on the spot, when by their vigorous exertions and a good supply of water, the fire was extinguished , and confined to the floor in which it first commenced. Very fortunately for Mr. Davis, whose circumstances would not enable him to bear the loss the fire has occasioned, he had ef fected an insurance for sonic time in the Sun Fire Office, and a gentleman connected with that establishment waited on Mr. Davis yesterday, an d lib erally recompensed h i m f or t h e ex tent of damage done to his property. How the fire originated is not known, MARCII OF EDUCATION.--In the learned city of St. Andrews, the other week, a lady was rebuking her servant for some fault or neglect of duty. All at once th e l ec t ure was interrupted by the pert damsel exclaimin g _...“ Stop, Mrs. that is shocking to educated ears. If you are to scold me at a !1, I beg you will do it grammatically." ( 300 D OLD TIAIES.—One of the earliest provincial news p.apers in the southern part of the kingdo m was pr i nted w by a m n named Mogridge, who used to insert the intelligence from I"crkshire under the head " Foreign News." 11101 - 1 WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO.MORROW. bI ...... 16 crntuths after 11.

The Reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty comes into operation on THURSDAY, the Fifteenth of SEPTEMBER Next, when the Subscribers of THE SUN will receive this Paper at a greatly Reduced Price. Sun Office, 112, Strand. violent insurrection broke out on the Bth of August at Oporto. In the beginning tite insurgents had the worse of it ; but there is every reason to I.AlVve, from the contents of the letters, that the struggle ira • renewed, or that the authorities gave way, and that at the. present hour the Constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed in that city. We are induced to think so because a commission had been appointed by mutual agree ment between the insurgents and the authorities to proceed to Lisbon and submit to the Queen, in energetic terms, the grievances of the city. The deputation was about to start - at the moment when the courier departed who has brought this intelligence. " The Constitution of 1812 was proclaimed at Chirlana, of the Ist of August. " On the same day the Constitution was proclaimed at Me dina—Sidonia. " Juntas are everywhere organizing, and the example of Cadiz has been followed in the principal towns of the south." We have reason to believe that the above is un founded. L e tt ers direct from Lisbon have been re ceived to th e 11 t h i ns t an t, i n w hi c h t h e s t a t e o f Por tngal is re presonted as perfectly tranquil. It is true that fears were entertained of the influence of the Spanish Constitutionalists upon the Liberals on the frontier ; but it was not apprehended that the public peace was liable to be seriously disturbed in any part of the kingdom. The writers of the letters to which we refer speak of the elections at Oporto, and through out the kingdom, as having been conducted in a very decorous manner. The Cortes were to have assembled on the 15th of August, but, by a Royal Decree, the meeting of the legislative body is now postponed till the 11th of September. This certainly does not look as if the Government entertained fears respecting the spread of dissatisfaction among the people. Mr. HUME'S speech in the House of Commons on Saturday, which was unfortunately abridged by the prorogation of Parliament, is deserving of the careful perusal of every honest reformer in the united king dom. The Honourable Member for 'Middlesex has sounded the tocsin for a reform in the House of Lords, and the country will respond to the call in a voice of thunder. "On behalf of the people of England," said the Honourable Gentleman, " we, the represen tatives of the people, must have reform in the House of Lords." This declaration was received with loud cheers by the House—a proof of even the in-door po pularity of such a measure. After commenting upon the conduct of the Peers with respect to the Irish Tithes' Bills, the Irish Corporation Bill, the Registra tion of Voters' Bill, the Post-office Reform Bill, and the Bill for the Reform of the Court of Chancery, the Honourable Gentleman proceeded to repel with indig nant scorn the libellous imputations attempted to be cast upon the liberal party in that House by the great Tory leader in the House of Lords. He maintained that the Commons had done their duty, but that they were thwarted and opposed on all occasions by the Mem bers of the Upper House. " What," continued the Hon. Gentleman, " were Peers created for ?—the pub lic good ; and if they set themselves against everything that is for the public good, the question will be— whether they shall or shall not bepermitted to exist? I do not see why old and antiquated notions should prevent a reform in the House of Lords. The boroughs were as old as the Peers ; yet they have been swept away. The Corporations were as old as the Peers ; yet they have been reformed. 'Why, therefore, not reform or sweep away altogether the House of Peels ?—(Great cheer ing.) Changes have taken place in the Monarchy— changes have taken place in the House of Commons —and why should not changes take place in the House of Lords ?—(Great cheering.) It is clear from the course the Lords have pursued, that the question is, whether the Aristocracy or the people should prevail? —(Great cheering.)" These words will sink deep into the public mind. They will produce an effect which the Peers little contemplated when they sup ported Lord LYNDHURST in his insane career towards the brink of a revolution. Either the House of Lords will sanction a reform of itself, so as to make it respon sible to the country for its proceedings, or the people will abolish it altogether. The nation will not suffer itself to be longer mocked and insulted by a body of men, who neither know its wants, nor respect its opinions. The KING'S Speech has given great dissatisfaction to the Tories. Because it contains no lies, it is not at all to the taste of that impudent and unprincipled fac tion. Because it is simple and unpretending in its style, boasting of no triumphs which have not been achieved, and therefore proving, beyond a doubt, its anti-Tory paternity, a demure and spectacled organ of the LYNDHURST clique inflicts upon its readers this morning two mortal columns of anile twaddle, to prove—what ? that Ministers have not been able to accomplish all that they wished ! The object of this unconscionable quantity of drivel is to draw a comparison between the Royal Speech of Saturday, and that delivered at the opening of the Session, the driveller himself—or rather herself — not seeming to be aware, all the while, that the more clearly the point aimed at is made out, the greater is the condemnation of the- Tory party. For why is it, we ask, that so little has been done ? Whence comes it to pass that his MAJESTY'S Minis ters have not effected all the Reforms which they had planned and announced ? From no fault of theirs, the country will reply with one voice. Had all the measures which they have introduced into Parliament, or supported when introduced by others, been allowed to pass, we may safely assert that we should not have seen the organs of Toryism charging the Government with, having done too little. But the people are not to be gulled by the dis ingenuous tricks of this disappointed and desperate crew. The people have only to look at the con duct of that assembly, which now, that Parliament has been prorogued, we may venture to call, in regard to its organization, the greatest curse that ever afflicted a nation—the people, we say, have only to look to the conduct of the House of Lords for the solution of the question, why Reform has not made greater pro gress during the late Session of Parliament ? The policy of the Lords has been either to defeat, or to cripple every measure passed by the Commons. They have pursued this obstructive policy with more determination and more perseverance than ever they did before ; having put themselves under the guidance of a man bankrupt in fortune, in character, in every thing, in short, which is necessary to constitute true respectability. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. Copious extracts from them will be found in another part of The Sun, so that it is quite unnecessary here to recapitulate their contents. We have advices from Bayonne to the 17th instant. On the 14th General EVANS proceeded to Bayonne, for the purpose of having an interview with General HA lIISPE ; but the latter was absent, and the gallant Member for Westminster returned to San Sebastian. The condition of the Legion is deplorable. Annexed are extracts from the Evening Journals of Saturday, received this morning : PARI9, AUG. 12.—The Duke of Nemours has set out fur Compiegne. Marshal Clausel is certainly to embark at Port Vendres, on board the Styx, on the 20th or 22d of this month. It is announced that several regiments are to quit the capital i n a f e w days. At the moment of their departure some of these regiments will have been hardly nine or ten months at Paris. It is added that the Moniteur will shortly publish a decision of the Minister of War, to the effect that henceforth a reniment shall not remain in a garrison more than one year. We have not forgotten that on a certain occasion the Bourbons of the elder branch had recourse to a measure exactly similar. We have received the Barcelona Journals of the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th. On the Bth, in the evening, Barcelona still ac knowledged the authority of the Queen.—Journal du Corn. General Harispo was at St. Jean de Luz when General Evans came to Bayonne : it seems that General Evans wished to proceed to St. Jean de Luz to see the French General, but his health would not permit him. A letter from Bayonne says, " The soldiers enlisted for Spain, who arc at Pau and in the environs, are about 4,300 in number. They have almost all voluntered from the ranks of the active army. The Spanish commissariat at Bayonne had already provided them with uniforms. " Several battalions were completely clothed and equipped. All was ready, even the artillery, to pass the frontier, when orders came to remain where they are. Thus there are only 600 men, those who crossed the frontier a week ago, who go to reinforce the Foreign' Legion. " In consequence of the new arrangement of the Govern ment all these men are in a very critical situation ; the Spanish commissariat having ceased to give the provisions and pay hitherto received every day. The fate of these men so en listed, especially of those who had come from their own homes, is said to cause the Government embarrassment."-Messayer, Aug. 20.

We direct attention to a letter from Devizes, on the irresponsibility of the House of Lords. Our corre spondent's suggestion will not be lost sight of. We have received several other letters from correspondents in various parts of the country, evincing the strongest opposition to the longer irresponsibility of our hereditary Senators. Thanks to the Honourable Member for Middlesex, we shall often have occasion to refer to this subject. Our read ers will also find in another part of The Sun an article from our weekly Contemporary, the Spectator, enumerating the bills burked by the Lords since the opening of the last session. It will be perused with interest. Claremont, it is expected, will be tenanted by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Heiress Pre sumptive during the winter. Sir John Conroy has taken a mansion at Esher for a twelvemonth in order to be near Clare mont during their Royal Highnesses' sojourn there. _.. _ . - FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Saturday morning, between the hours of ten and eleven, two unfortunate individuals, sons of a tradesman residing in Lambeth-walk, of the name of Washington, were rowing in a boat between Vaux hall and Westminster Bridges, when, by some mismanagement, the boat capsized, and the two youths were immersed in the Thames. Several watermen immediately put off in boats, but unfortunately too late. The bodies have not been found. His loyal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived at Southwick Park, the seat of T. Thistlethwaite, Esq., on Mon day last, in good health, and enjoys his eyesight in a manner better than could have been expected. In coming over Butser hill, the horses of his Royal Highness's carriage frightened a horse in a gig, which backing against his carriage was upset, and a lady in it was much hurt; she is, however, recovering, having been conveyed to Petcrsield by Lord John Churchill, at his Royal Highness's order, for medical assistance.—Hamp shire Telegraph. . . . . The Duke, Duchess, Prince George, and the Prin cess Augusta of Cambridge, the Landgravine of Hesse Hom berg, and the Duchess of Gloucester, arrived at Frankfort on the 15th inst. —Galignani. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 19.—1 f we may believe the Emancipation, Baron Evain, after quitting the office of Minister of War, will, nevertheless, remain in the service of Belgium. We are curious to learn what kind of employment will be given to this personage. —Courrier Beige. AUGSBURG, AUGUST 16.—Our city has just sus tained a great loss by the generally revered Bishop Ignaz Von Riegg, after long and severe suffering, which he bore with ad mirable fortitude and Christian resignation. DIVISION AMONG THE PUBLICANS.—Saturday another public meeting of the Licensed Victuallers of the metropolis was held for the purpose of taking into considera tion business of considerable importance connected with the trade and the public. The Chairman, on taking his seat, ob served, he regretted exceedingly that many'of the gin-palace proprietors who, at preceding public meetings, had held up their bands in support of the resolutions agreed to the effect that the public should be charged 33-d. per pot for porter served in customers' pots, and not consumed in the vender's house, and 4d. when supplied in the vender's pots, had stulti fied those proceedings by charging their customers only 3d. per pot. In consequence of this procedure many of the pub licans had been compelled, for self-protection, to charge for their porter the same price as the recusant gin-palace keepers. There were, however, some honourable exceptions, who had made a spirited determination to charge the increased price, whatever the consequences. In the parish of St. Pancrss, the Chairman of the Licensed Victuallers' District Pro tection Committee, who keeps several gin-shops, and had presided at the meetings_ held at the. Wheatsh ea f, Itathbone-place, Tottenham Court-road, was one of the first to break faith with that Conamitteo by charginr , the increased price. Several of the gin-shop keepers of Tottenham-court-road immediately followed his example, and there was now to be found the anomaly in all the metropolitan districts of one public-house underselling another without ob. taining a reasonable remunerating profit. Such a state of things, such a division between licensed victuallers generally, could not be otherwise than deplorable to the trade and preju dicial to the public. It was now for the meeting to express its sentiments upon the subject that had convened it together, and he should leave the consideration of the question in its hands. Several persons then addressed the meeting in favour of, and in opposition to, the resolutions of the former meeting, of enhancing the price of porter ; but, upon a show of hands being taken, it was found that two-thirds of the publicans pre sent were anxious that the price of porter should remain at the former unincreased price ; and they declared their intention of charging it accordingly. This announcement was received with immense cheering, mingled with shouts of disapprobation. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, after which several Gentlemen formed themselves into a Standing Committee to watch the interests of the trade. On Monday evening, about ten o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out on the premises of Thomas Hassell, E sq ., at Atkcnden farm, near Greenhithe ; engines from Dartford and Gravesend were on the spot, but the flames had gained so rapidly on the buildings, which were of timber and thatch, that the whole were in one blaze. The old farm now converted into cottages is the only part saved. Two large barns full of old corn, two large wheat stacks, carts, ploughs, stables, lodges, timber, and all the agricultural implements, are destroyed. One of the men going to bed first discovered the fire, and alarmed all the inmates of the cottage near, and by a miracle all the horses were saved just as the stable caught fire. Three valuable dogs and several hogs were consumed, and about 150 fowls —most of the waggons being in the field at harvest carrying, were preserved. The farm-yard is situate in a sort of natural amphitheatre (or at the bottom of a large bowl), the sides of which were covered by hundreds of specta. tators, and about 12 o'clock, when the fire was at its height, it presented one of the most awful and sublime scenes that was ever witnessed in the neighbourhood. At first it was sup. posed to be the work of an incendiary, Mr. Hastell being one of the Guardians of the Dartford Union, but as he is gene rally respected by all his workmen and neighbours, there can be no reason to suspect that to be the case. The loss will amount to upwards of one thousand pounds. The church will not repair her own places of wor ship, find her own bells, organs, surplices, &c. She will not light the edifice where the righteous God is worshipped, nor find fire for the vestries where the sacred ornaments of the priests are leapt, &c., because she has only five millions of pounds coming in annually. She can pay to archbishops, bishops, archdeacons, prebends, deans, chanters, choristers, sinecure rectors, and non• resident priests, two or three millions yearly, and yet is determined, if the parliament will but help her, to remain an eternal pauper on the public.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1836. These three days past the Times has put forth an altogether groundless assertion, respecting a passage which that journal alleges there was a design to introduce into the KING's Speech, pro nouncing a censure upon the House of Lords, in consequence of the loss of the important measures sent up from the Commons, but which passage his MAJESTY bad refused his assent to. This morning the Tines has had the hardihood to repeat the lie after this fashion : " We repeat that his MAJESTY did reject from the Speech a passage, such as we have described, directed against the House of Lords." Now we have authority to contradict this paragraph in the most distinct and positive manner. It is an absolute falsehood, without any, the slightest foundation. No such passage was brought before his MAJESTY, and therefore he had no occasion to reject it. We have received very important news from Spain. IsTußrz is no longer President of the Council. Few rejoiced at his elevation, and none will mourn his fall. He rose by means of an intrigue ; he fell because dis qualified to occupy so exalted a position in the councils of a Sovereign surrounded by revolutionary dangers. He mistook obstinacy for firmness, and the implaca bility of his resentments for consistency. What his honesty would have gained for him, his morose temper and unsocial disposition prevented him from receiving. He was respected for his principles, esteemed for his unimpeachable moral conduct, and revered for his con stancy under the severest trials during the reign of FERDINAND VII.; but his habits precluded the in dulgence of personal attachments, and his sentiments shut out all approaches to warm enthusiastic friend ship. The only act in his public career over which his friends will seek to draw a veil is the intrigue by means of which himself and CortDovA contrived to overthrow the MENDIZABAL Administration. The Journal de Paris of Saturday night, received this morning by an extraordinary express, contains the following official account of the dissolution of the IsTurttz, and the appointment of the CALATRAVA Cabinet : The Madrid Gazette of the 15th contains the following de erees : " The Constitution of 1812 is proclaimed till the reas sembling of the Cortes, which will pronounce relative to the institutions that ought to be given to Spain. " M. Calatrava is appointed President of the Council of Ministers. " M. Ferrer, Minister of Finance. " M. La Cuadra, Minister of the Interior. " General Seoane replaces General Quesada. " General Rodil is appointed to the command of the Guard, charged with the general inspection of Militia. " The decree proclaiming,Madrid in a state of siege has been recalled, and the National Guard of Madrid is reorganized. " The Constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed at Santan der and St. Sebastian." The new Premier, CALATRAVA, i 3 a staunch Liberal, and the personal friend of ARGUELLES and MENDIZABAL. The proclamation of the Constitu tion of 1812 in Madrid ; the re-organization of the National Guards ; and the dissolution of the late Ad ministration, and the appointment of another, disposed to place itself at the head of the people, and direct their movements—are most important events. Through out these trying scenes the QUEEN appears to have conducted herself with extraordinary presence of mind. Her promptitude has doubtless contributed to prevent the perpetration of serious outrages in the capital. To us there is nothing at all alarming in these movements on the part of the Constitutionalists. They are, in point of fact, the natural results of the conduct pursued toward s th e QUEEN'S Government by the King of the F RENCH—results which we augured, non-fulfilmentfromthecoof theeneeet of Quadruple the Treaty. war would follow a No doubt the King of the FRENCH is now convinced of the short-sightedness of his miserable, peddling, pettifog ging policy ; but it is too late now to mend matters— the adoption of a retrograd e system is manifestly impossible. The Messager des Chan2bres of the same date, and conveyed by the same express as the Journal de Paris, contains the following important announce- ment : " Letters received this morning at Paris announce that a ATTEMPTED RAPE. .loseph Barr. the barrack sergeant and schoolmaster of the Tower, was indicted with feloniously assaulting Mary Anne Ablet, one of the girls of the Tower National School, under twelve years of age, with intent to commit a rape. From the evidence of the girl, it appeared that on Wednes day, the 6th of July, she had been sent by her school mistress to the Mint upon an errand. On returning she met the pri soner, who told her he wanted to speak to her. He then led her through three of the store rooms, locking each door after him. When he came to the room which was called the store room for dirty bedding, lie bolted the door inside, and fl ung her down on the bed. Witness screamed out, when the prisoner said, " Don't scream so, else Mr. Hodgson would hear her." Witness screamed louder, and then the prisoner let her go, telling her if the old woman (her governess) asked her if she bad been crying, to say she had been running. When she got away she went to school, and told one of her schoolfellows what had happened. She told her mother the next day that Mr. Barr had given her twopence ; and upon being asked what he had given it her for, she said nothing, being ashamed to tell her mother what had happened. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Had not told Mr. Bailey, the clergyman of the Tower, that the prisoner had locked the door inside in the last room. Had heard the boys say that her mother had been drunk, but not that she had been turned out for being drunk. Did not know why site told her mo ther that Mr. Barr had given her twopence. Had heard from a Mrs. Roddy that Mrs. Anderson, the mother of the young girl to whom she had told what had happened, had been to Mr. Barr, and offered to settle the case if he would give her money, which Mr. Barr refused. Jane Anderson went to the Tower National School. Asked the last witness on the day in question what she had been cry ing for, when she told her what had taken place. Mary Ablett, the mother of the prosecutrix, said that the governess and her daughter told her what had taken place together. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.-Mr. Barr got it up among the boys that she was drunk, and had them up at Lambeth-street to swear it, but the Magistrate would not hear them. Would take her sacrament oath she had not drank spirits that day, and was not drunk ; she had a fresh colour, but could not help that. Mrs. Barr turned -her out when she went to her, but she did not know the reason why. Mrs. Boddy never went to her knowledge to ask Mr. Barr to settle the matter with money. All she wanted was justice to her fatherless child. Mrs. Boddy, examined by Mr. PHILLIPS, stated that it was false, as sworn by Ablet, that she had told her she had been to Mr. Barr for money, and that he would not give it her. She had never been to Mr. Barr's in her life. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and re marked in strong terms upon the contradictory nature of the evidence. If the Jury required it, he could prove the story of the prosecutrix with respect to bolting the doors to be totally untrue, as there were no bolts on the doors to which she had alluded • and with respect to her statement th a t Mr. Barr had locked the last door inside that was impossible, as there was no key-hole in the lock on the inner side of the door. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said he had never witnessed so many discrepancies in a case in his life as had occurred in this. The Rev. Mr. Bailey, the chaplain of the Tower, who had taken great pains to investigate the matter, stated that the prosecutrix had stated to him that Mr. Barr had led her through several rooms, bolting every door after him, and locking the last inside ; the fact was, there were no bolts to the doors, and the lock of the last room could not be locked in side. The Rev. Gentleman gave Mr. Barr a most irre proachable character. The Foreman of the Jury stated that they were unanimously of opinion that the prisoner was not guilty of the charge. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced this morning before Mr. Ser. geant ADAMS and a full bench of Magistrates. MORE MISTAKES.—On the names of the Grand Jury being called over, a gentleman claimed to be excused serving, on the ground that the summons was directed to him in Howard's place, whereas he lived in Gwynne's-buildings. He admitted, however, that the summons had reached him. The CHAIRMAN said that his address was correctly stated on the panel, and enquired of the Sheriff's officer, whose duty it is to summon the Grand Jury, how this mistake had occurred ? The Officer said that on going to serve the summons in Howard's-place, he foundathe gentleman lived in Gwynne's. buildings, and he accordingly left it there, and he afterwards corrected the panel. The CHAIRMAN said he had no right to make any alteration in the panel after he had received it from the Sheriffs. He should require the altered panel to be produced hi the course of the day. The Officer said he had no intention of doing anything wrong. The CHAIRMAN said he did not think he intended wrong, but he ought not to have taken upon himself to alter the panel. The gentleman was excused. Another gentleman, named Williams, produced his sum mons, and said that his name had not been called. The Officer of the Court said the name was not on the panel. The CHAIRMAN enquired of the summoning officer how this second mistake had occurred. The Officer said he had left out the name of Mr. Williams by accident when he copied the panel of the Court. The CHAIRMAN said he would institute a full enquiry into all the circumstances before the close of the Sessions. Mr. Williams said he had no objection to serve. The CHAIRMAN—But unfortunately we cannot avail our selves of your offer, as your name is not on the panel. I hope these kind of things will not happen again.—(To the Sheriff's officer. )—How many names does the Sheriff give out to be summoned ? Officer—Sixty. CHAtamAN—Then as only 48 are returned to the Court, what becomes of the other twelve? Officer—Some cannot be found, and others are above the age. CHAIRMAN—But you have made no return of that sort to the Court. I will have that return made before the rising of the Court. Officer—lt never has been done before. CHAIRMAN—Then it shall be done at this and every future Session. The Grand Jury then withdrew. The CHAIRMAN then said he wished it to go forth to the public, that in future, immediately after the Grand Jury had been sworn, the Court would proceed to try those persons who were in custody on charges of assault, instead of losing time as had hitherto been done by waiting until some bills were returned by the Grand Jury. Two hours had often been lost in that manner—a delay that, by the new arrange ment, would not occur again. INSOLVENT COURT.-THIS DAY. IN RE LE GROS. Me. CRESWELL applied fora rule, calling on the assignee of the insolvent to' show cause why he should not pay a second dividend to Messrs. Bassett, Crawford, Colville, and Co. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS thought he could not grant the rule, as the affidavit in support of the motion did not state specifically that an application had been made for the payment of the dividend which had been refused ; but at the same time he was of opinion, that if the parties showed satisfactorily they had attended the meeting of the creditors, had tendered proof of their debt, and had been refused, they had a right to bring the parties before the Court without making any motion on the subject at all. The Com'', after hearing a few applications of no public interest, rose till the 21st of September. SUlClDE.—Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, the neigh bourhood of Pimlico-terrace and Arabella-row, was thrown into considerable consternation by the report that one of the persons in the employment of Mr. Higgs, the ale-brewer, had committed suicide. Police constable B 132, who was at the time on duty at the spot, was called in, and having forced the privy door open found the unfortunate deceased suspended from a beam in the roof, apparently lifeless. He immediately cut him down. The deceased was rubbed over with brandy, and his clothes loosened ; but the surgeon, upon examination of the body, at once pronounced that the vital spat k had already become extinct. The deceased, Joseph Biggs, was between 45 and 50 years of age, a married man, with a grown-up family of three children, and had been for a considerable length of time in the confidential employment of Mr. Higgs. No reason car► be assigned fur his commission of so rash an act. The body remains on the premises, awaiting a Coroner's inquest. . - The Bishop of London, who is now sojourning at Malvern for the benefit of his health, visited Worcester on Thursday, accompanied by his lady and family. Harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of Stockton. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 9.—The State Gazette of to-day contains a Royal proclamation, dated July 30th, and countersigned by the Norwegian Minister of State Lowens tejold, by which an extraordinary Storthing is summoned to meet at Christiania on the 15th of October, for the considera tion of various matters of great importance. No nets Mi nisters will be chosen for this Storthing, but, according to Article 69 of the Norwegian Constitution, the M em b ers o f t h e last ordin ary S tort hi ng , chosen for the years 1836, 1837, and 1838 will again assemble. BAYONNE, AUG. IG.—There arrived here this af ternoon 144 deserters belonging to the British Legion from St. Sebastian. Don Carlos refused to receive them, and had them conveyed to the frontier, where our people received and con ducted them to prison, to their great delight, as they were certain of being fed there. They appeared in a state of great want and misery. We are told that the constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed at Tafalla and Lumbier. Letters from Saragossa, of August 10, state that Cabrera and Quilcz are returned from Murcia and V a l enc i a, b r i ng i ng w i t h t h em 15 wag gons loaded with objects of value, part of which belonged to the Government of Madrid, 800 horses, and 200 colts. They have left the waggons at Cantaviega, which serves them as an arsenal, and the horses have been taken to Aliaga to be made into squadrons. The Urbanos, irritated by the disarm ing- of the National Guard, and by the e stablishment of mar tial law, have formed th e pl an o f p u tti ng themselves in motion. They bare forced a contribution of 8000,000 of reals, and have fabricated coins for the formation of money out of the metal of the bells and the silver belonging to the churches, ----- --J THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).
